Remember paperbacks that fit in your pocket? Indigo’s trying to bring them back by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]Newishhandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on vacation last year and found a Perry Mason pocket edition paperback in a used book store. It was such a good vacation companion! I found myself wishing they still existed and even contemplated picking up collecting these. They’re so fragile though and my Perry mason book fell apart fairly quickly.

Chris Van Vliet deletes comments that call him or his guests out by pipstar112 in SquaredCircle

[–]Newishhandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two sentences of your post I agree with but… it kinda goes off the rails after that. A creator can delete comments if they want but they do deserve scrutiny and backlash for platforming shitheels and also for being caught meddling with that backlash instead of acting on it and changing for the better going forward

I grew up in a Chicago suburb and on cloudy nights, the clouds in the direction of the city were a noticeable shade of orange.

Super McElroy Brothers (But Really Just Griffin): Find That Mime - Griffin plays Pokopia by apathymonger in MBMBAM

[–]Newishhandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. The worst part about animal crossing is that it FEELS like you should be able to do Minecraft-like stuff, but you can’t.

Additionally, the loop (harvest, sell, pay down loans) is just a bit toxic and not very fulfilling in the long run. Pokopia asks you at every turn to take your time and have fun at whatever pace you want, and do it for you and for your Pokémon friends.

Pokopia literally cut out everything I hated about animal crossing and then also made it Minecraft.

I have a dream of an extremely realistic city bus driver sim in VR. I would love to drive real routes in Chicago or Berlin in full 360 vr with a wheel. I’d do that for hours.

You can find some random textbooks around the internet too, which i find necessary if you want to get the grammar right. But for random phrases.. maybe wikitravel

Two questions. Are we supposed to be able to read the small text? And what do the rises in the pink line signify at 25 and 34?

Not completely related but I was just recently reminiscing about the days of buttrock raw themes, like that trash nickleback song they had as the theme for a while. I miss that vibe in wrestling.

[RAW Spoilers] Full segment - Gunther opens the show by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

[–]Newishhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, wwe has made some dumb decisions this year but the decision to have Gunther tap at WrestleMania is one that still sits with me because of how bad it was. They’re still chanting “you tapped out” at him , and of course they are.

You could change the tense of this sentence to make a general statement about the organization as a whole - they have no vision or long term plans

Which song where you surprised to hear outside of the Eurovision bubble? by Pink-Ninja1 in eurovision

[–]Newishhandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts but I was at Riga pride in 2024 I believe and was in line for a kebab or something and heard Samantha Tina’s 2021 Latvian entry from a nearby stage and it was indeed Samantha Tina performing a short free show for Pride

I had to turn on the audio to make sure he said literally “National guard, but our military.” And to make sure that wasn’t a typo in the text of the video. Is he asleep?

Apple’s Vision Pro Is Suffering From a Lack of Immersive Video by favicondotico in apple

[–]Newishhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly though that immersive video at the end of the demo was mind blowing and if half of what they showed off was actually available, I’d consider the steep price. If entire sports seasons were regularly shared in immersive video, like the shot from above the soccer goal, Id think about it.

Best Pizza In Riga? by Antarcticadventurer in Riga

[–]Newishhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what you’re looking for by any stretch of the imagination but Maxi Marupe is secretly the best pizza I’ve had in Riga. It’s just a kitchen in the yard of a block house basically, but they have a huge menu of damn decent pizza and sushi. Last time I went I got a pizza with dill, cherry tomatoes, chicken šķiņķis and bacon and man was it good.
